No Soriano For Some Time

Thankfully, we have Jim Edmonds.

I figure that after yesterday, all Cub fans are finally on board with the Edmonds signing.

Sure, it could be said that the Braves lost the game yesterday more then the Cubs won it, but our Cubbies put the Braves in position to blow it in extras thanks to Jimmy Edmonds.

The Cubs are certainly a better team with Soriano's bat in the lineup then they are without him, but they can survive due to their depth and still win a lot of ballgames.

The Cardinals without Pujols, on the other hand, are going to struggle. They don't have another hitter even close to his calliber, whereas the Cubs still have D Lee and Aramis Ramirez, and Edmonds is starting to hit like he used to back when he was protection for Pujols.

Even with the big loss of Soriano for approx. 6 weeks, my optomism is high.

This is the year, people.

I feel it more now then ever.

I haven't rooted for a team this good and this dominant since the 1985 Bears.

GO CUBBIES!!!!!!!!!!
